Zeek

1. Homer wrote that Rhea gave birth to the three brothers, Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon. Though Zeus was considered the most powerful, each of them was technically equal. Zeus got the sky, Hades got the mists and darkness, and Poseidon got the ocean. However, in Hesiod’s account, three of them were born together and they all have their own specialties.

2. Zeus said so because man has brought so much pain, sadness, and depression. War also brought deportation and even death. Zeus blames the gloom as the mankind.

3. Zeus could save Sarpedon but he did not because Hera told him not to. If he saved Sarpedon, other gods would look down on him and they would not save their mortal children, either.

4. I think Patroclus deserves his death. He used the guts to kill one of the most powerful gods’ little kid. I’m a little surprised that Zeus didn’t kill him that time because I think it is not forgivable for a man to kill a little children.
